  • Lighting up the dark universe

    Updated: 2010-07-28 19:43:27
    Exploring our dark universe is usually the domain of extreme physics. Clues to dark matter and energy are searched for by huge neutrino telescopes and particle detectors, deep underground, and by experiments launched into space. But an experiment doesn't have to be exotic to explore the unexplained. At the International Conference on High Energy Physics, which ends today in Paris, scientists from the GammeV-CHASE experiment unveiled the first results from their experiment, which used 30 hours' worth of data from a 10-meter-long experiment to place the world's best limits on particles of dark energy.

  • Newswire: Fermilab - New measurements from Fermilab's MINOS experiment suggest a difference in a key property of neutrinos and antineutrinos

    Updated: 2010-06-14 15:20:00
    Batavia, Ill. - Scientists of the MINOS experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator laboratory today (June 14) announced the world's most precise measurement to date of the parameters that govern antineutrino oscillations, the back-and-forth transformations of antineutrinos from one type to another. This result provides information about the difference in mass between different antineutrino types. The measurement showed an unexpected variance in the values for neutrinos and antineutrinos. This mass difference parameter, called delta m squared, is smaller by approximately 40 percent for neutrinos than for antineutrinos.
